HUNGARY The first Boy Scout pictured on a stamp appeared in 1925 when Hungary printed a set of eight sport stamps showing athletes and a Scout bugler with a background of tents. The cost was double face value plus 10%, and represented income for these activities as well as Scouting. A four line inscription on the reverse side certifies this cost. | ||||||||||
